The Last Frontier Podcast

Winter Wildlife Adaptations


Listen Later

This episode drops on the darkest day of the year. And while most people visit Alaska in the summer months to view some of our incredible wildlife, we got to thinking about how these animals survive the winter months once the crowds leave. So join on today's episode as we delve into some incredible winter adaptations our animals of Alaska have that enable them to survive the cold, dark winters of the Last Frontier. What animal can survive with a body temperature below freezing? How thick of blubber does a polar bear have? And why were a record number of bald eagles spotted together last February?! It's the episode that'll make you appreciate being inside on a cold, winter night!
